Rahul Gandhi, Tejashwi Yadav Lead INDIA Bloc's Protest over Controversial Voter List Revision in Poll-Bound Bihar

PASHCHIM CHAMPARAN, BIHAR, JUL 8 – Congress alleges BJP added 7.5 million votes in Maharashtra and deleted 20 million in Bihar to influence elections, prompting protests and legal challenges against the Election Commission's voter list revision.

  • On July 9, 2025, Rahul Gandhi, Tejashwi Yadav, and other leaders from the INDIA bloc organized protests throughout Bihar opposing the Election Commission's ongoing extensive update of voter lists ahead of the state assembly elections.
  • The protests followed concerns that the revision would remove voters lacking 11 specified documents, targeting migrants, Dalits, Mahadalits, and poor citizens in a politically motivated move.
  • Activists affiliated with several opposition parties, including Rashtriya Janata Dal, Congress, CPI Liberation, and the Communist Party of India , engaged in road blockades and tyre-burning protests in Arwal, Jehanabad, and Darbhanga; in addition, railway lines were obstructed near Sachiwalay Halt station, while party leaders submitted petitions to the Supreme Court.
  • Rahul Gandhi and other opposition leaders vowed to continue protests until demands are met, while Tejashwi Yadav accused the Election Commission of losing credibility and acting as a political party’s wing to block votes.
  • The Supreme Court scheduled a hearing for July 10 to consider multiple petitions challenging the revision, reflecting ongoing legal and political tensions ahead of Bihar’s upcoming assembly elections.
